Need that can be met by an intentional church are: Spiritual needs and people need hope, faith in the broken world. Discipleship and mentorship for people seeking growth.
Emotional and mental needs: people needs healing from trauma, depression, anxiety, rejection, bullying and abuse. Support for single parents is important.
At Celebration church we had a campaign called “No more shadow” This initiative was about bullying in local schools. We interacted with kids through drama, skits, testimonies and short teachings about values and identity in Jesus Christ.
Many learners were victims of bullying but they found their voice to speak up and be heard and some bullies even stopped. Even teachers were reached in their level and were trained to handle suicide in the schools.
People need someone who can stand at the gap for justice in the broken and harassed communities and church should be voice to the voiceless.
